Fallen vet’s mother seeks relief in a bill - The Boston Globe

Denise Anderson lost her son, Army Specialist Corey Shea, in November 2008 when he was attacked by a renegade Iraqi soldier who turned on the Americans he was accompanying.

After her son’s burial in the National Veterans Cemetery in Bourne, Anderson, with the help of Frank’s office, sought permission from the US Department of Veterans Affairs to be buried with her son when she eventually dies.
